The Other Side of the Sky: A Memoir
by Farah Ahmedi, Tamim Ansary
What a Story! (5/17/2005)
I checked out Farah Ahmedi's book yesterday at the library and read it the same evening. Her life story thus far is one of unbelieveable hardships, struggles and triumphs. I loved this book and Farah's courage to keep going, no matter what. It made me love my country even more and realize the freedoms we have. I wish this book was required reading for every highschool student in the US. They need to see and appreciate how people live in other countries and also to reach out to foreigners among us.
